Businesses are always looking for the best value in all areas of the company. One place to focus is securing a company’s assets. The value that security brings to an organization is protection of assets within the company. There are a number of crimes taking place against companies every hour around the world. Most of these crimes are committed against small businesses (Sasser, 1995). Regardless of the amount of security an organization has it can never be completely secure from criminal activity. A company needs to deter criminal activity by using products and systems that will include security technology and have a human presence at all times. Using a human as a deterrent is known as a security guard. While organizations can use technology as a way to reduce breaches in security, it can never fully replace the need for security guards (Ortmeier, 2009). A security guard in uniform is an effective way of deterring a criminal from committing a crime. It makes a criminal developed a new plan or stop attempt the crime altogether. Security guards will sometimes pretend to be other employees if there is a suspicion of stealing within an organization. The value of the human system within a company is that it is a necessary deterrence to criminal. New security technologies are quickly becoming a must have in protecting an organization’s assets. There is a market of security technologies such as alarm systems, cameras, closed circuit TVs, hidden microphones, ID Cards, and biometric scanners are designed for use in security. An organization will normally have a human security manager. A security manager must be educated and skilled in using the products that are available. A skilled specialist can analyze the security level and the needs of a particular company. Each technology has its own pros and cons that come with it. These...

...PrivateSecurity Laws
The state of Tennessee does have licensing requirements for privatesecurity companies and laws governing legal authority for privatesecurity officers. These laws and regulations are similar to public law enforcement officers in some ways and they also have many different limitations from the public officers.
According to the state of Tennessee “a security guard/officer is an individual employed by a contract security company or a proprietary security organization to protect persons and/or property from criminal activities. A security guard who holds armed guard registration may work an armed or unarmed post, and is not required to hold an additional "unarmed" guard registration” (“Department of Commerce and Insurance”, 2014). However in order to carry a firearm a privatesecurity guard must have the proper authorization and meet all such requirements. Some of the requirements to become an armed security guard are as follows:
• Must be at least 21 years old
• Be a citizen of the United States or a resident alien
• No history of mental illness declared by a court
• No substance abuse issues
• No disabilities that prevent duties from being carried out
• Good moral character
• Meet training requirements
• Submit fingerprints for proper screening
• Clean...

...SECURITY AND LOSS PREVENTION MANAGEMENT
Experts estimate that nearly 80 percent of all small businesses fail in their first three years. In most cases, the cause is poor management.
One of the most neglected and poorly managed aspects of small business operation is security and loss prevention. Yet, according to U.S. Department of Commerce statistics, employee dishonesty alone causes 30 percent of all business failures. Add to that failures resulting from other crimes committed against company property, employees and customers and it's easy to see why the true rate may actually exceed 60 percent.
Most managers understand neither the risks they face, nor the principles of loss prevention management. As a result, they tend to avoid the subject. This neglect only compounds the problem.
There is a misconception that good security is too expensive. Small businesses often operate on the financial brink - particularly during the first few years - and the added expense for security may not seem justified. In reality, companies that can least afford it, usually need protection most. Security hardware and alarm systems can be expensive, but they're only a small part of a loss prevention program. Policies and procedures are the heart of any good security program and normally involve little or no added expense.
Loss prevention programs safeguard...

...PrivateSecurity Laws Ehren Bernett SEC/350 Legal and Regulatory Issues in SecurityManagement Julie Martinez 10/20/2014 PrivateSecurity Laws in South Carolina Within the state of South Carolina any/all privatesecurity company, entity, or person must apply and be approved for a license through the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, also known as SLED. SLED is essentially South Carolinas branch of the FBI, and there are four regions throughout the state. According to the Administrative Regulations Effective June 23, 2006, there are very strict stipulations to being qualified to obtain a privatesecurity license within the state, and it is solely at the discretion of SLED whether or not the application is approved. Chapter 73-400 of the regulations states, Once an application is approved, the name for the licensed entity must also be approved by SLED. Any materials, equipment, supplies and advertising used by the company must not imply and type of affiliation with law enforcement or any other governing agency. Chapter 73-400 also talks about an annual fee payable to SLED each year by the privatesecurity business, as well as blue lights having to be approved on privatesecurity vehicles in accordance with SLED regulations.

...between Private and Public Police
Cassandra Utz
June 10, 2012
Initially it was the responsibility of the public police-law enforcement to provide protection to all society and the property that existed within the jurisdictions these police officers served. In contemporary day, public and private police officials can be found working hand-in-hand on a regular basis at numerous public and private events-functions. In addition, it is not uncommon to observe police officers working part-time jobs with privatesecurity officials in order to safeguard valuable assets. Certain jurisdictions throughout the United States, such as Boston Massachusetts, have been given special privatesecurity officers arrest powers as a result of the lack of public security officers available.
One major difference that has been slowly but steadily changing is the mandatory training required for both the public ad privatesecurity officers. The training and education a public police officer must complete in order to be hired by any department, is on average for more in-depth than that of a privatesecurity officer who usually is forced to submit to a standard drug test and a basic back ground criminal investigation check. But the educational opportunities that exist in modern day, the availability of these educational...

The Legality of Security Work
Privatesecurity is non-governmental security related protection. It includes private investigation (PI), uniformed security (armed or unarmed), and executive protection, privatesecurity companies (PSC), security systems and private limited companies. Civil liability, which is a factor of privatesecurity, arises when an offence is both a crime and a tort. Civil actions can be brought against any privatesecurity personnel who go against the law. Civil law can be divided into three categories: strict liability, intentional liability and negligence liability.
Negligence liability arises when a person has a duty to act reasonably but fails to do so, resulting injuries. The elements of negligent liability include the existence of some duty owed or duty to protect. Employers are expected to protect their employees and the public. If an employee injures another, the employer and the company will be held liable for negligent retention since by an employer hiring a security officer, that does not relieve him from responsibility. The concept ‘respondent superior’ helps to explain that premises owners cannot delegate their responsibilities. The employer can only escape...

...Private wealth delivered to high-net-worth investors. Generally this includes advice on the use of various estate planning vehicles, business-succession or stock-option planning, and the occasional use of hedging derivatives for large blocks of stock.
Traditionally, the wealthiest retail clients of investment firms demanded a greater level of service, product offering and sales personnel than that received by average clients. With an increase in the number of affluent investors in recent years,[5] there has been an increasing demand for sophisticated financial solutions and expertise throughout the world.
The CFA Institute curriculum on private-wealth management indicates that two primary factors distinguish the issues facing individual investors from those facing institutions:
Time horizons differ. Individuals face a finite life as compared to the theoretically/potentially infinite life of institutions. This fact requires strategies for transferring assets at the end of an individual's life. These transfers are subject to laws and regulations that vary by locality and therefore the strategies available to address this situation vary. This is commonly known as accumulation and decumulation.
Individuals are more likely to face a variety of taxes on investment returns that vary by locality. Portfolio-management techniques that provide individuals with after tax returns that meet their objectives must address such...

Introduction to IT Security (ITM 431)
Module #1 Case Assignment
Dr. Cynthia Phillips
The Oxford American Dictionary of Current English defines admonition as “to reprove. Urge. Give earnest advice to. Warn”. Understanding this how do we employ admonitions systems to information technology to make it more useful in-regards to Network and system security? Using admonition software we are attempting to create an environment that will either prevent data from being in-advertently distributed across networks. Act as a deterrent to those trying to access the network illegally. Or warning users of the potential harm their actions may cause. In developing an IT security strategy, potential risks will need to be anticipated along with policies and procedures for the effective mitigation of these risks. There needs to be governing documentation that entails network design as well as security measures to safeguard the network from intrusion. Effective administrative procedures that ensure personnel are properly trained and continually advised of updates and/or changes to security.
In today’s world the collection, processing, and sharing of information has reached all time highs. It is because of this that the Internet as well as “IT Networks” occasionally referred to as “Intranets” need securing to protect from potentially harmful entities. The...

...to avoid the similar attacks, so he requests security plan to the IT Department. This plan is aim to protect the First Union Bank from this type of incident, which the attack is taking database as target. With this plan, the bank could protect the personal information of the customers and the database at the most. It could also assist the bank to minimize losses.
Background:
Since The Security Policy of the First Union Bank is inadequate in terms of intrusion prevention and detection. Therefore the Bank steering committee has issued the instruction about it.
Later, there was a compromise was found in the important system used for nightly ACH funds transfer. Also, some of the normal transfer files are missing, and the system is identifying my most trusted administrator as a user without normal write privileges when he’s trying to log into this application, which uses Kerberos as the protocol. Since the important application has been broke into, Kerberos could no longer be fully trusted. There must be some solutions to be implemented to determine Kerberos is not going to compromise anymore.
There’s another fact about the attack. The LoanWrite, which is a loan-taking program runs on the Ipad tablets and used by the Bank loan officers team, has been compromised. All the loan officers have already had their data and access to the application stolen by the hackers.
Plan:
Initially, it’s necessary to indicate why the Bank Security...
